If you can’t find it, make the motherfuckers.

I’ve been trying to find blank 80’s style back patches. Welp, they don’t make them anymore and I couldn’t find any blank deadstock. So I grabbed one off eBay and reverse engineered it, I know, it’s a squareish piece of fabric, right?!?

Well. Not exactly. It’s a two piece deal, one screen printed cotton piece adhered to a backing material with a special adhesive then ran through a serger sewing machine. (No wonder these fuckers were 15 bucks in the 80’s)
But we figured it out (my partner is a seamstress) and now we are all in. We went with the most common size.
11.75 inches at the top
10 inches at the bottom.
14 inches in length.
These are $25 (plus shipping) and will come rolled up on a tube mailer so they don’t get creased.
